Title: Octahedral tilt transitions in relaxed epitaxial Pb(Zr{sub 1-x}Ti{sub x})O{sub 3} films.

Abstract

Relaxed epitaxial {l_brace}100{r_brace}{sub pc} and {l_brace}111{r_brace}{sub pc} oriented films (350 nm) of Pb(Zr{sub 1-x}Ti{sub x})O{sub 3} (0.2 {le} x {le} 0.4) on SrRuO{sub 3}/SrTiO{sub 3} substrates were grown by pulsed laser deposition and studied using high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The dielectric behavior and ferroelectric phase transition temperatures of the films were consistent with bulk PZT. However, weak 1/2{l_brace}311{r_brace}{sub pc} reflections in x-ray diffraction profiles were recorded above bulk T{sub Tilt} (as indicated in the Jaffe, Cooke, and Jaffe phase diagram, where pc denotes pseudocubic indices). Moreover, anomalies in the dielectric and ferroelectric response were detected above T{sub Tilt} which are explained by coupling of short coherence or weakly tilted regions to the ferroelectric polarization.
